8/6/1928 – The Yankees were in Chicago and played a 15-inning game. In the top of the eighth, Lou Gehrig reached on a force out and Cedric Durst pinch ran for the Iron Horse in the fourth spot in the lineup. Durst went to 1B in the bottom of the frame and Wilcy Moore took the mound, batting ninth. Catcher Johnny Grabowski, batting eighth, struck out to end the top of the ninth. Durst came to bat to start the tenth, but he was out of turn, as the batter should have been Moore. After Durst made an out, Earle Combs, in the first lineup spot, came to the plate, also out of turn. The Yankees continued to swap the #4 and #9 hitters into the 15th inning, when the White Sox pointed out the mistake to Umpire Bill Dinneen. However, Dinneen said Durst had a right to bat where he was, prompting the White Sox to file a protest in case the Yankees won the game. Chicago scored a run in the bottom of the 15th to end the contest, 5-4.
